Abstract: Carbamate of general formula (I), wherein R1, R2, and R3 are H, OH, NO2, SH, CN, F, Cl, Br, I, COOH, CONH2, (C1-C4)-alkoxycarbonyl, (C1-C4)-alkylsulfanyl, (C1-C4)-alkylsulfinyl, (C1-C4)-alkylsulfonyl, (C1-C4)-alkoxyl optionally substituted with one or several F, and (C1-C4)-alkyl optionally substituted with one or several F or OH; R4 is cycloalkyl, phenyl, heteroaryl or a bicyclic ring system; R5 is cycloalkyl, (C5-C10)-alkyl, a substituted (C1-C10)-alkyl; and X? is a physiologically acceptable anion. Carbamate (I) is selective M3 receptor antagonists versus M2 receptor and may be used for the treatment of urinary incontinence (particularly, the one caused by overactive bladder), irritable bowel syndrome, and respiratory disorders (particularly, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis, asthma, emphysema, and rhinitis), as well as in ophthalmic interventions.

Abstract: Compounds of general structure (I), wherein the central benzene ring may be substituted in the meta- or para-position; -A is an optionally substituted hydroxyl, alkoxyl, hydroxylamine, alkoxylamine or amine radical; -W is an N- and C-linked biradical selected from several possibilities; and -Z is a carbon radical selected from several possibilities. These compounds are PPAR? and PPAR?/PPAR? modulators and, therefore, are useful for the prophylactic and/or curative treatment of a condition or a disease mediated by these recetpcors.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I), wherein X is O, S, NH, OCO, NH—CO, NH—COO, NH—CO—NH, NH—CS or NH—CS—NH; R4 is H, (C1-C3)-alkyl optionally substituted by halogen, or a C-linked heterocyclic radical selected from several possibilities; R1 and R3 are H or F; and R2 is an N-linked or C-linked heterocyclic radical, are useful in the treatment of microbial infections in human or animal body.
